lumber Supply OF the Couniry.

Notwithstanding the great draw
upon the wood reserves of the eoun-
try, there is no danger of exhatsta-
ton at present. New England is by
no means denuded of its timber. The
great northwestern pineries are COM
paratively unexhausted. There is
also vigorous second growth OF
white pine in New England, where
the forests gre already yielding be-
tween 20O,O0O,000 and 30O,0O0,000
feet of timber annually. Southern
pine, although stripped from the
banks of the streams flowing into the
Atlantic, is practically untouched in
the gulf states, especially those bor-
dering on the Mississippi. The hard
wood forests of the Mississippi basin
are still prolific. In Michigan, par
ticularly the northern peninsula,
hardwood is plentiful, maple especi-
ally. In the Pacihc coast region the
great forests Of fir are practically in
tact. The forest capacity of the
country is vast. Strange to say, the
decimating element of most potence
is fire, and not the axes OF mercenary
timber spectators.

BENJAMIN +. BUTLER.

Ban MAsoSs.-While out hunting
few days ago, says Fort Dowell
(Ariz.) correspondent, | found a
peculiar stone, nearly round, about
four inches long by three and half
inches in diameter. picked it up,
and, as | did SO, it ratified as il it was
hollow, and had something inside.
1t was very hard, and of dark blue
color. Wishing to see what was in
side to make it rattle, | broke it on
another stone, when, to my astonish-
ment, found the skeleton of frog.
How it got inside of a stone almost as
hard as flint remained a mystery until
yesterday. While out looking after
my stock | noticed some birds that
looked like swallows, but larger
carrying mud to cliff and depositing
it in holes that they had dug in the
side of the cliff. | went to the TOP
OF the cliff and climbed down to one
of the holes, expecting to find the
nest of the peculiar bird, but instead
| found a globular stone like the one
in which found the frogs skeleton
| broke it, and in this one | found {
lizard, almost decayed.
| broke several others and founc
bugs and small animals, some not vel
dead. watched the birds at theil
work, and learned how they put then
victims IN the stone. They nearly
complete the ball, leaving only ,
small hole in one end; then they ge
an animal, bugs or sometimes a small
bird, and put it in the ball; and on,
stays aud keeps the victim in, Will,
the others get mud and close tn,
tomb, with the victim alive.
There are thousands OF holes il
the bank, and each one is the toni
of some animal. Why they put tn,
animals in the balls is a mystery; 70
after the mud dries, it is so hard tina
it requires cons derable force to breal
them. This is subject for scientif,
men to ponder over st. Loui
Globe Democrat.
